[Love the light]
[Love the dark]

Take the world
Take my heart
Kill me fast
But bring me endless pain
One more day I live
One more I die again
(I know you love me)

Take my world
Take the heart
Kill me slow
I feel no love
I die alone
With you there
(You say you love me)

Either way I fall apart
No matter how we start.

The author's comments:
I wanted to represent two completely differnet types of love in a parralel form. One type is good "pain" love, while the other is bad love.
